What You’ll Do

This role will design and develop technology within Flatiron’s engineering organization. This role will collaborate cross-functionally with experts across a variety of functions to understand how to develop technology solutions that drive clinical outcomes either in the practice or research settings to understand their challenges and how technology can help solve them.

• Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to deeply understand problems before jumping to solutions whilst balancing customer needs, technical constraints, and business priorities
• Break down ambiguous requirements into well-scoped, actionable work, and ask clarifying questions and surface risks early
• Design, implement, test, and deploy features end-to-end. Write clean, well-tested code that balances pragmatism with long-term maintainability
• Investigate and resolve bugs by tracing issues to root causes, designing thoughtful fixes, and validating changes with automated tests
• Participate in design and code reviews, giving and receiving constructive feedback that elevates team quality
• Effectively leverage AI-assisted coding tools and modern technologies to accelerate development while applying critical judgment to validate outputs and maintain security, reliability, and code quality

Who You Are

You’re a kind, passionate and collaborative problem-solver who values the opportunity to think beyond the way things are. You’re excited by the prospect of working on difficult and meaningful problems each day. You seek and give candid feedback, and value the chance to make an important impact on cancer patients and society.

• You’re a software engineer with 1-4 years of relevant professional experience
• You hold a Bachelors, Masters, and/or Ph.D. in computer science or a related field
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and always willing to teach and learn
• You are excited to work in a fast-moving environment, think creatively and be scrappy to get the job done
• You have a nose for value and empathy for your customers
• You have experience with languages like Python, C++, Java, and/or C#, but are also willing to pick up new programming languages as needed
• You have some experience working with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP
• You have a good understanding of relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MSSQL
• You understand the purpose of "boring" technology (as described in this blog post) and are willing to use the right tools to get the job done

Extra credit

• You have experience working in healthcare or exposure to healthcare-related standards like HL7
• You have experience developing software with AI agents like Claude Code or Cursor
• You have experience with containerized environments such as Docker, including image creation, orchestration, and production deployment.
